This headstone is located in Warren Center Cemetery, Warren, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The children listed were my husband's 3rd great grand-uncle and 3rd great-grand aunts. A Find A Grave angel, Terry Goodwin, obtained the photograph for our family.

How sad it must have been for Platt and Lucinda Finney Starr to bury so many of their children. The"infant" epitaph really makes the heart ache for these ancestors.

About Me

Hello to the world of blogging! I work for our local public library and several years ago we had a technology initiative. One of our assignments was to create a blog. So here I am learning about genealogy and blogging at the same time. The goal is to learn something every day, connect to people with similar interests, and have fun along the way!
